Looks good, just need to raise that chrome trim bit located above the rear fender. It's amazing the design efforts MFGs undertake to make their cars not look like wagons.

Looks better than it's predecessor with that name

I prefer the predecessor.

I do like its wagon-esque proportions, even if it's more XC90 than V90. Not a fan of that blue though, the copper orange looks good.

It does look good; but that crazy price tag..    Same with the Prologue.

After that Honda will say, look we told you nobody wants EV's

Agreed. Better yet get rid of that chrome trim altogether.

I'm also not sure about the three-tone colour scheme.

I know, eh?  Like I said in the story, it looks like a landau bar from a hearse!

Also, Dkaz is completely wrong to not like that blue.

I read about this in paper today (Yes I read a real paper). I was shocked to read it is built on a GM platform/drivetrain. I thought range of around 450 kms was pretty impressive.

The Blazer EV with the same battery acheive over 500 km due to smaller wheels and tires. Cost like $30K less. So much for having  an Acura badge.

I would love it on an Integra Type S, but I wonder if the three tone colour scheme is ruining it.

My thought exactly!

Apples vs Oranges.  The Blazer EV with over 500 km of range is a RWD RS trim with 380 hp. The Acura is 500 hp and standard AWD in Canada. Its closest rival is the Caddy Lyriq with which it shares... well, almost everything, and costs within a couple of grand, comparably-equipped.
